<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Consent March 6, 2006 <br />Item Description <br />Authorization to Fill Accountin Clerk Position <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Senior accounting clerk Joan Frick has submitted her resignation effective June 1,2006. Staff requests <br />authorization to fill this position but as an accounting clerk instead of a senior accounting clerk. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Ms. Frick will have over 21 years of service when she retires. She has taken on many duties during that <br />time and has a very heavy workload that she apdy handles because of her experience and knowledge. <br />However, a new employee will not be able to handle this heavy workload and probably will not have the <br />diverse knowledge that Ms. Frick has. Therefore, as part of the fInance department reorganization, some <br />of Ms. Frick's duties have already been transferred to the accountant with the intent that when she retires <br />her current position would be changed to accounting clerk to handle mainly accounts payable, which is a <br />full time job. If possible, the accounting clerk will start in early May to allow an adequate training period. <br /> <br />The Personnel Committee has reviewed the new position and recommends a starting pay range of $14.50 <br />- $17.50 per hour, depending upon experience. This is consistent with the previous accounting clerk <br />position at pay grade 7. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />Attachments <br />.
